The farm cook is very prosperous

Chapter 23 Making bacon for New Year’s goods (1)
"Song Wu, what do you think girls generally like?" The restaurant's business has finally made progress, and in half a month, he will be able to return to Yuncheng, so he should give something as a present as the end of the year approaches.

Song Wu's eyes widened, and he looked at Song Yicheng in disbelief, oh my god, how can you ask me, I grew up with you, and I can count the women I come into contact with with a single slap, I don't even know what girls like, What's more, you are going to give it to the girl of the Li family. What should I say? Song Wu frowned there, scratching the back of his head, pondering secretly for a long time, and said, "Um, it should be gold and silver jewelry...or rouge Gouache, "Yes, you can't be wrong, whether it's from the capital city or Yuncheng, girls like to patronize these shops the most.

Song Yicheng looked at Song Wu suspiciously and asked, "Gold and silver jewellery, rouge and gouache? Are you sure?" He didn't see Chunniang wearing these, she seemed to have a plum blossom hairpin on her head, and he remembered that she didn't smell of rouge and gouache. .

"Well, this subordinate is not sure what Miss Li likes? Subordinate, subordinate, guessing randomly." Being stared at by Song Yicheng, he obviously lacked confidence, and his voice became smaller and smaller afterward.

Song Yicheng, who was guessed by Song Wu, gave him an angry look.I know who I want to send, and I can't come up with a better idea.

He waved his hand, signaling him to back down.

Now the weather is getting colder and colder. Although there is no snow, it makes people feel abnormally cold and humid. The flames of the charcoal stove are crackling. Aunt Li is teaching Chun Niang how to embroider under the lamp. Starting from the basics, how to pick flowers , Walking the line, Huzi is also practicing his big characters at the table, and the scene looks very warm.

"Hiss," Huzi looked up at Chunniang, then sneaked a glance at Aunt Li, and continued to practice his big characters. This was the third time tonight. I wonder if my sister's hands can still cook tomorrow.

"Chun Niang, you have been studying for two days, why is there still no progress, look at your embroidery..." Aunt Li said angrily.

"Mother...don't be angry with me, I'll study hard, and I will definitely embroider this Aoxue Hanmei well." Seeing that Aunt Li was really angry, Chun Niang quickly grabbed her arm and said coquettishly.

"Oh...mother, I'm not really angry, mother is worried for you, mother hopes that you can find a good place to belong in the future, how can you let mother feel at ease in the future," Aunt Li persuaded earnestly.

She also knew that Chun Niang worked very hard every day. She practiced in the yard before dawn, and went to take care of the restaurant's business when it was over. It closed at Xu Shi, so she still had energy to embroider. Sometimes she knew that forcing her was too urgent, but this time After the new year, you are one year older, so you have to be in a hurry.

"Mother, I got it, I will study hard." Chunniang felt that her life was miserable. Could it be that if the embroidery is not good, there will be no good family.

"What are you looking at? I've finished writing." Aunt Li looked at Hu Zi who was looking up at the two of them.

Huzi saw that he was deserting, and when Aunt Li found out, he quickly lowered his head and continued his career in big characters.

"Hehe, let my sister see how Huzi's big characters are doing?" Chunniang said, picking up the big characters she had learned a long time ago to read.

"Well, it's not bad, keep working hard, you will be seven years old when the New Year starts." Chun Niang looked at the big characters and said to Hu Zi.

After speaking, she turned her head and said to Aunt Li, "Mother, I want to send Huzi to study, what do you think? Find a good husband for you, study more, and you will have a good career in the future." No matter where In any age, it is not a bad thing to read more books. I believe that with her watching out, Huzi will not become a pedantic bookworm.

Before Aunt Li could speak, Huzi hurriedly said, "Sister, are you going to send me to school?" Huzi's eyes were shining brightly, and his face was flushed with excitement.

Aunt Li hesitated for a moment and said: "It's not that I don't want to send him to study, but sending Huzi to school now is also to enlightenment, and what he teaches are "Three Character Classics", "Hundred Family Surnames", and "Thousand Family Poems". Necessary, Huzi can memorize the three-character scriptures and the surnames of hundreds of families. I am going to teach him the poems of thousands of families in the next step. I will teach Huzi about enlightenment. There is no need to spend that unreasonable money. We just have some savings now. , I want to keep some, and after another year, the tiger will grow up, and I will be more relieved to have a better master and enter the academy to study."

Yes, the enlightenment teaching is relatively simple. As an educated woman, Aunt Li is sometimes conservative, but most of the time she is relatively enlightened. Aren’t there many parents who teach their children themselves in modern times?Let's lay a good foundation first and then look at it. Anyway, Huzi is still young, so he will do as Aunt Li said.

"Huzi, when you have learned everything your mother taught you, my sister will send you to study in the capital, what do you think?" Chunniang said seeing Huzi's disappointed expression.

"I don't want to go, I'll go alone, who will take care of you, I'm the only male in the family." Huzi said stubbornly, shaking his round head, pursing his mouth.

"Don't worry, my sister has martial arts now, is she amazing?" Chun Niang finally stopped laughing and said.Now that Chunniang's throwing knife has begun to take effect, her internal strength is still at the same level, which makes people a little anxious.Chen Feng said that she is doing pretty well now, and the true energy in her body can already be condensed, but it happens from time to time, and she can't control how to use it.Why!I don't know how long I will practice.

"Sister, can you ask Brother Feng to teach me, or...you can teach me." Huzi knew that Brother Feng's martial arts were very powerful, so he didn't know whether he would teach him or not, so the chances of finding his sister should be higher.

"You want to learn too. Learning martial arts is a hundred times harder than practicing big characters." Practicing martial arts is a good thing to strengthen your body, and Chun Niang also wants him to learn, because she is afraid that he will not be able to bear the hardships. My mother has meat to eat, but in the past six months, I haven't seen any growth, but my weight has been steadily increasing.

"No, did I say that I will take care of you? I am not afraid of hardship." Hu Zi patted his chest with his chubby little hands and said like an adult.

"Okay, I'll ask Brother Feng for you." Chunniang pinched Huzi's cheek, the meat was really tender and felt good. "Thank you sister, my sister is the best to Hu Zi," Hu Zi patted his chubby little hand and said, that's great, he can also learn martial arts in the future.

It seems that the pickles in this yard have to be quickly moved to a shop. With Chen Feng's current speed of recruiting apprentices, it will not be a problem to open a martial arts gym in the future.She didn't ask others, and started to help others make random plans, and she didn't know if others were willing or not.

It's the winter solstice again, and the supply of vegetables is scarce, and it is difficult to preserve them.In order to have enough food to survive the winter, people pickle it with salt and store it. In Hubei, there is a saying that there is no "wax" and you are not an adult. People here will also pickle cured fish and bacon at this time. , these marinated cured fish and bacon will be an indispensable delicacy on the New Year's Eve dinner.
